Why I like working for the Warren House group - Gemma Blackmur
'An excellent team - the whole team at Warren house are brilliant. We laugh every day and support one another both professionally and personally; we are definitely more like friends than colleagues. We have a group of very experienced vets and nurses who are happy to help one another when needed often without needing to be asked.
We see great case variety, with the option to work cases up and follow through internally rather than to always refer, but the non-pressured option to refer as required.
The option for flexible working hours is also available - I have recently changed my hours to suit my other love outside of work, which is riding, and as a practice they were happy to do this.'
About Us
The Warren House Veterinary Surgery first opened in 1982 at the Rochester site. Since starting the business, it has continually grown and is now a group of four small animal practices, all based in the Medway Towns.
The branches all have 2 to 3 consulting rooms, separate dog and cat wards, prep rooms, and sterile surgical theatres. Each branch also has its own clinical facilities so that we can offer inhouse laboratory services, digital x-ray, and ultrasound facilities on all sites. We also have endoscopy facilities across the group and our fabulous team of vets have a vast array of special interests from orthopaedics and soft tissue surgery to ophthalmology, dermatology, and complementary therapies. We are happy to employ the services of peripatetic specialist when needed as well, meaning our patients do not always need to travel to referral centres. We also support and encourage further study if this is something you wish to pursue.
Our teams are headed up by the Clinical Director and Group Practice Manager who are supported in the senior leadership team by the Lead Vet, Clinical Nurse Manager and Client Care Manager. We then have nurse and client care leads across the group to offer further managerial support to the teams.Some of our teams have been with the company since it opened almost 40 years ago, and we have both full and part time associates as we have quite a flexible approach and understand that work needs to fit in around life.
Currently we have 8 Vets on the team, 18 RVNs, 3 VCA's and 15 Client Care team members across the group to help meet the needs to our customers. Our teams work across the whole group supporting each other fully. We also have two administrators who take care of some of the finances for the company.
Our Lordswood site works closely with the local cats Protection adoption centre and this branch has achieved the cat friendly clinic silver award. The team from that branch are now working with our other sites to help them achieve accreditations too.
We are looking for a caring and compassionate veterinary surgeon to join our expanding vet team. The ideal candidate must have a friendly approach, great communication skills and the ability to work up cases to a high standard. This role offers a great balance between consults and surgery we are often able to prioritise your preference. We also encourage a great work life balance with flexible hours and protected admin time.
